The Golden State Warriors are currently tied with the Toronto Raptors 1-1 in the Finals. Golden State has been in the Finals 5 straight times, winning 3 of them going for their fourth. During this run, the Warriors have remained healthy, until this season. The Warriors have been absolutely plagued with injuries and this could be their demise.
The Warriors are currently facing a bountiful of injuries, with huge key players facing injuries. During Game 2 Stephen Curry was reportedly sick during the game, which showed on the floor as he went 6-17 from the field. Klay Thompson is currently questionable for Game 3, as he is dealing with a hamstring injury. Although Thompson will most likely play through this injury, it will be interesting to see how much it will affect his play. Kevin Looney, who has became a part of the Warrior's strategy during these playoffs, has suffered a fractured collarbone, which will keep him out indefinitely. Andre Iguodala has suffered many injuries this playoffs run and is playing through them. Andre is truly putting everything on the line currently because of these injuries. Finally we have the Warriors most versatile scorer, Kevin Durant. Around the league it is assumed he is dealing with a partially torn or torn calf. His injury has kept him out almost a month at this point, and the expectation is that he will be missing Game 3.
The Warriors are currently going through their most difficult playoff run during this Dynasty they have created. They are faced with the injury plague and every game it seems to be another player getting hurt. This Finals run is setting up to be Draymond Green's Final MVP run as he has been killing it. Game 1 he recorded a triple double and during Game 2 he was 1 assist away from a triple double. This plague doesn't seem to end soon, they just need Curry to get healthy and Kevin Durant to come back so they can win another Championship.
